Our brand-new flagship office in Placentia

We recently opened our flagship office in Placentia, a brand-new, purpose-built multi-specialty space shared with a general surgeon and an interventional cardiologist, which makes collaboration and referrals easy. Our ENT space is about 4,500 square feet and designed from the ground up for efficient, high-quality ENT care:

• 7 exam rooms and a dedicated procedure room
• In-office computed tomography (CT) imaging, pending acquisition
• 2 sound-treated audiology booths with modern diagnostic audiometry
• High-definition video endoscopy and a full instrument reprocessing and sterilization suite

The Opportunity

This is a chance to build a busy practice from day one, with an established referral base, strong community ties and a ready patient population. Many of our patients prefer care in Spanish or Korean, and a bilingual otolaryngologist will be able to serve them from the first day.

We welcome both general otolaryngologists and those with a subspecialty interest, such as otology, laryngology, facial plastic surgery, head and neck oncology, sleep surgery or pediatric otolaryngology. We will support you in growing your area of focus, adding new service lines and using our in-office procedure capabilities to their full potential. You will also have the opportunity to take part in our office expansion, including the build-out of an ambulatory surgery center (ASC) in the near future.

Responsibilities

• Evaluate and treat adult and pediatric patients across the full range of general otolaryngology

• Travel between our Placentia flagship and Koreatown offices to see patients at both locations
• Communicate with patients and families in English and in Spanish or Korean
• Collaborate with our audiology, clinical and research teams, and with referring physicians
• No hospital call
• Participate in the practice's clinical trials as a sub-investigator, including patient screening, enrollment and study visits

Qualifications

• Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree
